| Abstract |
Abstract:<br/>Oil and natural gas are major industries in the energy market and have a big impact on<br/>the global economy as the world's principal fuel sources. The processes and systems<br/>used in the production and delivery of oil and gas are highly complex, capital-intensive,<br/>and require cutting-edge technology. Current incumbents in the oil and gas industry, on<br/>the other hand, are under pressure to change their business practices as a result of market<br/>trends and global conditions such as globalization and low oil prices, as well as<br/>environmental concerns such as climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels.<br/>Nonetheless, only a few decades after the third industrial revolution, there is a popular<br/>sense of a new era of digitalized production in the industrial and engineering sectors,<br/>dubbed the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0.<br/>Industry 4.0 represents a new stage in the organization and control of the industrial<br/>value chain. It is simply denotes a new stage in development and control of the<br/>industrial value chain, enabling novel ways of production, real-time optimization, and<br/>value creation.<br/>Along with the internal factors, external factors like market and competition<br/>reformation and socio-technological developments are seen as dominant. Obvious<br/>changes in the value chain activities have to take place, and thus, implications for the<br/>value chain have to be addressed.<br/>This type of impact can be technology-driven, while the necessary organizational<br/>structure and strategy plan lag behind. Taking the value chain as a unit of analysis, those<br/>institutional factors that change the process can be evaluated, enabling firms to<br/>coordinate their efforts on organizational change and technology adoption.<br/>The study focuses on the classification of the Egyptian oil and gas sector into upstream,<br/>midstream, and downstream categories analyzing its current state and implication of<br/>Industry 4.0 technologies on each of these categories value chain. It employs a mixedmethods approach, combining a systematic literature review and a survey of industry<br/>specialist and experts to explore the current state of Industry 4.0 in order to answer the<br/>research question<br/>“How can adopting Industry 4.0 technologies influence the Egyptian oil and gas<br/>industry’s entities value chain activities, and how can this influence be assessed?”<br/>The research aims to (1) identify Industry 4.0 technologies analyzing the influence of<br/>each on the Egyptian oil and gas value chain through a literature review and specialist<br/>evaluation method, and (2) develop a generic impact tool applicable to evaluate the<br/>adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies on Porter's value chain primary activities.<br/>By combining important concepts and theories to gain insight into value chain<br/>developments in the context of Industry 4.0, the findings provided significant<br/>information for industry stakeholders and researchers, allowing them to make educated<br/>decisions about technology adoption and optimizing value chain activities. |
